Not for me but I can see it having a market. Will keep an eye on how it is received and reviewed for sure. But right now I have just about enough time to play what I already have.
@BloodNinja again as I said in my second comment, I'm not really comparing those 2 specifically. Just saying that I spend money on some things others might consider mad. And vice versa. People have different priorities. Each to their own. My first example was probably poor though.
@Jackpaza0508 this was my first thought too. People seem to have money burning a whole in their pocket they can't wait to get rid of. I'd rather spend money on games than consoles. I approve this news. Love my Switch.
@SortingHat If I want something this size there's not much alternative sadly. But I guess putting that €100 towards 4 Zelda amiibo might be better spent.
Edit: bit harsh calling people idiots for wanting a thing. You own one of these yourself.
Fantastic game but I don't play it enough anymore to be good at this level. Plus I'm not Stateside. I enjoyed my 100 hours or so with the game but at this point I'll be waiting for Splat3.
@theflowergarden the fact that all these micro transactions are purely for cosmetic items though surely counts for something. I can buy this game for €20 and never pay another cent again for it. Every purchase is optional and offers no effects on gameplay to someone else. It's purely to jazz up their avatar if they want to. I can understand some of the hate certain micro transactions get (loot box type) but these are nothing like that.
@Phostachio Why should it be F2P though? This is what I can never understand. Not having a go at you, I just don't understand why a particular game like this should be free.
This will please some people who were panicing about where the game was going probably. I was just enjoying throwing my balls at peoples face............what?!
Love the game but don't see a need for me to get the DLC for a few costumes and difficulty level. More story would have been a bigger incentive for me.
Day One purchase. This game wasn't on my radar since I didn't think it would be on a platform I have. Great news, I can get excited for it now. @Pak-Man nope, if you've got decent Internet you'll be fine.
Me as a 10 year old: I want to get those trading cards cos its fun to collect and trade them. 10 year olds today: this trading card will likely increase in value in years to come. Better invest.
Expectations are rock bottom for this. There's been so many poor Directs in the last 2 years I'm not expecting any different this time. Will watch it for sure though.
@JokerCK It's included on Gamepass so it's gonna get a big user base from the start from there alone. Plus the free trial has converted plenty from being on the fence to buying it. Like myself. Only €20 too. Great price.
Knockout City is the best game I've played in ages. Highly recommend. Haven't played 64 player Bomberman in months. Must jump back in and try it again. I feel it's gonna be much tougher to get Bomber One now with all the extra players playing.
Gamestop Ireland have had the same pre order promotion up for a few weeks now. I've mine booked. Can't wait for them to deliver it 3 weeks after the game launches.
@BaronMunchausen the game is on GamePass for Xbox users and since its crossplay those people at least will always pad out the player base. But this game is reviewing so well and most people are loving it I can see it lasting a long time. €20 is very cheap too for a new game of this quality.

@anoyonmus Stadia all the way for this one.
Re: Tag Heuer Teases Exclusive Limited-Edition Super Mario Collab
@BloodNinja I will never financially recover from this haha.
Re: Tag Heuer Teases Exclusive Limited-Edition Super Mario Collab
@BloodNinja I've already agreed this was probably a bad example. What more would you like me to say?

Re: Gallery: First 4 Figures' Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Link Takes Aim
Ordered zelda and link one just there from a different website. Arriving next week. Expensive but good day.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 10th)
Mario Golf, Knockout City and Red Dead 2.
Re: Tag Heuer Teases Exclusive Limited-Edition Super Mario Collab
@Xeacons I'm not comparing the 2, I'm just saying some people spend money on things that others can't understand why they would do that. That's all.
Re: Tag Heuer Teases Exclusive Limited-Edition Super Mario Collab
@TheAwesomeBowser These same people probably can't understand why someone would pay thousands for a gaming PC. Each to their own.
Re: Fancy A Switch OLED For £800? Scalpers Are Already Flogging Pre-Orders
Really hope they get stuck with a load of these. Only an idiot would pay that.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch OLED Model
Thankfully my 2017 Switch is still in good health. Can hold onto my money for now.

Re: UK Charts: Mario Golf Holds Onto First Place While Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Returns To The Top Ten
Enjoying Mario Golf so far. Multiplayer wih friends is where it shines.
Re: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Update 1.1.0 Adds New Mario Cup, Three New Environments And A Yoshi Kart

I have the amiibos but dam these would all look cool in my Games Room. Tempting.
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate's Second Last DLC Fighter Has Arrived - Tekken's Kazuya
Glad to see any Tekken character in the roster. My fav fighting series.

Re: Review: Worms Rumble - Fun Traversal, But A Limited Battle Royale Spin-Off
Heard there was serious framerate issues with Switch version too when things get busy on screen. Might try it out on GamePass sometime in the future.
Re: Knockout City Roadmap Details Upcoming Content - Season 2, New Map And More
@Phostachio Why should it be F2P though? This is what I can never understand. Not having a go at you, I just don't understand why a particular game like this should be free.
Re: Knockout City Roadmap Details Upcoming Content - Season 2, New Map And More
@Phostachio each to their own. I'd rather pay €20 to have fun now than wait 5 years to save €20.
Re: Knockout City Roadmap Details Upcoming Content - Season 2, New Map And More
@Phostachio it was a long time before Rocket League went F2P. It released in 2015. Only went F2P last year.

@Pandy hopefully.

Re: New Nintendo Infographic Shows Every Game Featured During The E3 Direct
3 games for me:
Guardians of the Galaxy, Worms Rumble and Metroid.
Re: Roundup: Here's What Was Revealed In Nintendo Direct E3 2021
Metroid, Worms and Guardians of the Galaxy were the big ones for me. Day one purchases.
Re: Nintendo's Digital Deals Sale Is Now Live, Up To 75% Off Hundreds Of Switch Games
@sunkenFool would much rather if the Irish site was connected to an EU page rather than .co.uk page.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass Kicks Off This Week
I'm on the last section of the game. I'd only be interested in DLC if there was more story.
Re: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version Confirmed For Switch
Day One purchase. This game wasn't on my radar since I didn't think it would be on a platform I have. Great news, I can get excited for it now.
@Pak-Man nope, if you've got decent Internet you'll be fine.

Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You For Nintendo's E3 Direct?
Expectations are low. Hoping its good but not expecting it to be.
Re: Rumour: Major Ubisoft Switch Exclusive Could Make An E3 Appearance
Loved the original but it got too tricky towards the end and I never finished it. Would definitely give a new one a go.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Football Games
Loved the FIFA games in the first 2 years of Switch. I've since found other ways to play the full version games portably so I've jumped ship though.

@JokerCK It's included on Gamepass so it's gonna get a big user base from the start from there alone. Plus the free trial has converted plenty from being on the fence to buying it. Like myself. Only €20 too. Great price.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Replay Games?
I've only replayed a handful of games ever. Probably less than 5.
Re: Nintendo Shares Its May eShop Highlights
Knockout City is the best game I've played in ages. Highly recommend. Haven't played 64 player Bomberman in months. Must jump back in and try it again. I feel it's gonna be much tougher to get Bomber One now with all the extra players playing.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass Appears For Free, Thanks To An eShop Exploit
Ah well, missed it. To be honest I'm kinda done with the game. Seems like the dlc is just more of the same.
Re: Rumour: Switch Pro To Offer 'Surface-Style' Tabletop Flap, USB 3.0 And Ethernet Connectivity
I've heard the Switch Pro sounds like Liam Neeson chasing a load of hens around inside a barrel. It also has a fear of stamps.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch 'Pro' Reveal Expected Before E3, Out This Year
@presenttense correction, we will all TRY to buy one. No doubt there will be stock issues and scalpers again.

Re: Review: Knockout City - Dodge This Superb Squad-Based Arcade Action At Your Peril
@JR150 this game should be free? The entitlement of some people.
Re: Review: Knockout City - Dodge This Superb Squad-Based Arcade Action At Your Peril
@GrailUK hurry up, there's only a few days left of free play.
Re: Review: Knockout City - Dodge This Superb Squad-Based Arcade Action At Your Peril
Great game. Highly recommend. Hopefully people can look past their EA bias and just see if they enjoy it.
Re: Review: Knockout City - Dodge This Superb Squad-Based Arcade Action At Your Peril
@dew12333 @Paraka And i didnt need one when I purchased the full game.
